HOYER offers worldwide logistics services for industrial, chemical and special gases.

We transport atmospheric gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and argon, as well as other cryogenic gases – from carbon dioxide and hydrogen to helium and liquefied natural gas. We also cover the transport of gases in cylinders. Our comprehensive portfolio of services and performances is supplemented by logistics solutions for other noble and special gases.

Product groups gas

As one of the leading providers and specialists in the transport of gases, we offer our customers a wide range of gas transport logistics services worldwide. In doing so, the safety and quality of the transport is always our top priority. Our expertise covers a wide range of gases, including air gases such as LIN (liquefied nitrogen), LOX (liquefied oxygen), LAR (liquefied argon) or carbon dioxide (CO2). We transport these cryogenic liquefied gases in T75 containers. Pressurised liquefied gases such as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), methyl chloride, isobutane and ammonia are transported with our T50 tank container fleet.

We are also experts in hydrogen (H2) transport. Hydrogen is transported under pressure or cryogenically liquefied or in carrier fluids such as ammonia, methanol or other chemical compounds. Our portfolio includes helium logistics, LNG and LPG logistics.

We also support our customers' business development with our own equipment – and carry out cylinder and dry ice transports for you.

We have a neutral fleet of various trailers and containers for gases with which we support our customers.

Among others, CNG and LNG tractor units as well as electrically powered vehicles are in use. We are also using HVO fuel in pilot projects. In the future, hydrogen and fuel cell drives will play a major role.
